Here we report the development of an ultrasensitive and multiplex pathogen DNA detection method by combining patterned Au nanowire (NW)-on-film surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor with exonuclease III-assisted target DNA recycling reaction. Combining the high sensitivity of NW-on-film sensor and the target recycling reaction significantly improved DNA detection performance, resulting in the detection limit of 100 fM corresponding to 3 amole. By positioning Au NWs at specific addresses, multiple pathogen DNAs could be identified in a single step. Clinical sample tests with multiple genomic DNAs of pathogens showed the potential of this sensor for practical diagnosis of infectious diseases.
